Sheltered Reddit liberals finding out in real time that they're not in a pro-west echo chamber is fucking hilarious. (hexbear.net)

Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.

They've been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren't Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it's bots or wumao. Human beings can't possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.

Also, you really thinking having "Chinese" before "Communist" is racist? If anything the west has fearmongered the word "communist" far more than the word "Chinese"

That is literally the stated intent given for the name, yes. Emphasizing Chinese is the point. If there wasn't a reason to call it CCP they would just call it CPC. Goddamn you are a gullible toad lmao

I've wondered if part of it too is to trick boomers into confusing it with CCCP as their lead-addled brains turn into mush.

yes, older media reported the party as the CPC. restyling it as the CCP is relatively recent and coincides with the drumbeat of aggression between the west and China.

It's worth noting that early on the official English name was actually CCP, probably just following the generic rules of English with putting adjectives before the noun, before it was revised to CPC.
